Hey Tom, full input signal from the bass. Must admit I haven't tried the pedal on its own though! I'll have to do that tonight and see if it makes a difference...

Ok, never had the same issue with my Bass Drive Mosfet or Xotic BB which is why I was asking, and they don't have a blend. They kept low end just fine with what I assume was a purely effected sound. So going by that, and considering the B3K is a bass-centric overdrive, I was under the impression that even the "pure" effect sound would still be designed to have a lot of bottom end. Is that not the case then?

[font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] Hi all,[/size][/font] [font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] Just had a question regarding the US B3K, and wondered if you could help. I know they're pretty popular around here!... [/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] I bought this ages ago, but so far have only had chance to use it at two gigs so far. [/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] My favourite sound that I've found is: [/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] Blend - Full[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] Level - 3 o'clock[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] Drive - Noon[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] Attack switch - On[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] Grunt switch - Fat[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] When using it at home on my tiny home practice amp it's sounding great like this, but through my Mesa/Ampeg cab gig rig I seem to get a bass drop, or at least a feeling that I lose volume. Also tried changing level to full, but it's only just about right on this setting (surely it should have some headroom!?!...). [/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] A couple of questions for you guys who use them: [/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] - Have you experienced anything like this?[/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] - Is the pedal designed so that the blend shouldn't be on full, and is it likely that I'm experience the bass/volume drop because the blend is full up? - Does this sound like it could be a potential fault? [/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] As mentioned the tone's great, so I really can't think that there's anything drastically wrong with it! I've heard so much about the massive low end on this thing though that I can't help but be a little underwhelmed by how it's performing!... [/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] Please let me know if you can help. [/size][/font][font=arial, sans-serif][size=3] Alex[/size][/font]

Only just saw this today! Anyone used one? [url="http://www.ehx.com/products/8-step-program"]http://www.ehx.com/products/8-step-program[/url] I'm thinking this would be awesome hooked up to my Moogerfooger LPF!...

I've had GAS for the Neunaber Wet reverb for quite a while now! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0VM-WzhesE"]This[/url] guy does a pretty good demo of it.

[quote name='TG Flatline' timestamp='1375366234' post='2160346'] The patch leads have changed since the last photo you posted Al I bet you can have a lot of fun with that board! [/quote] Yes they have Tom, and like you and Kev promised, the tonal change has certainly been palpable!... It is a lot of fun! I think once there's the addition of another dirtbox (made by a certain excellent UK pedalsmith! ) it will be complete...

Pre-gig last night [URL=http://s66.photobucket.com/user/albakio/media/20130731_152808.jpg.html][IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h241/albakio/20130731_152808.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Looking a bit messy at the mo, but it sounds amazing! :-)

What about the bass version of Tom's (COG Effects) [url="http://www.cogeffects.co.uk/darklighter.php"]Darklighter overdrive[/url]?

This sounds lovely! Can't wait to get my hands on our cheeky little dirt box creation Tom ...

For me it's the Eventide "Factor" pedals and the Strymon delays. Just still can't find the courage to drop more than £150 on a delay pedal. I'm getting scarily close with the Strymon Brigadier though! :-s...

I know the website's four years old, but I stumbled across this and it's got me very interested! http://www.pkeffects.com/old/ Has anyone tried either pedal on bass?

I'd have a fuzz either side of the whole chain! ;-) Always before delay or reverb though!

Quick question for you Shep, as you've got one and know what you're talking about! Have you ever used the EP-2 with the Low Pass Filter? If so did you ever adjust the attenuation knob at all, or did you just leave it at full?

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1369762951' post='2092492'] Been a while since I posted a few pics. The HUGE board has been stripped and is currently acting as a coffee table in the studio. I have a new live electronica project on the go (live bass & electronics as a 2-piece) and this is my much reduced set up that I'm using for it... Bass -> TC Polytune Mini -> * (GigRig QuarterMaster 4 Input) * COG Effects Custom Meat Grinder Fuzz -> Subdecay Prometheus -> Eventide PitchFactor (with EB VP Jr) -> Moogerfooger Low Pass Filter (with MP-201) -> * (GigRig QuarterMaster 4 Output) * TC Nova Delay iB Mod - > Amp All housed in a Diago Showman (other than the delay) and powered by a GigRig Modeular Power Supply. There is a MIDI Splitter in the top corner too which delivers a MIDI Clock from the electronics to sync the LFO's of my MP-201 and crazy effects in the Eventide. Sounds HUGE!!! Shep [/quote] Good lord! You could destroy buildings with this lot! ;-)

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1369693617' post='2091772'] Wow That board could be so much smaller lol Si [/quote] Especially considering that he's only using that equaliser for flat mids after the BBM. He blatantly needs a Grey Stache and a Pedaltrain Nano! Thanks for the responses guys, especially the pic Eskimo! Lovely stuff. Al

Wonderlove (Phat Phuk > OC-2 > Oxide) > Xerograph (controlled by EP-2) > Polytope > Nimbus > B7K Loving it, and should be adding a TFR in the near future! [/quote] This is lovely. The Iron Ether layout is incredible in itself!

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1369346758' post='2088322'] Some quality stuff there mate, have you considered upgrading your patch leads? You will be surprised at the difference some quality cables can make to your tone! [/quote] I have! What would you recommend? Been looking at the George Ls kit, but reviews seem to vary!...

Mine, as of last night's gig: [URL=http://s66.photobucket.com/user/albakio/media/20130522_002742.jpg.html][IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h241/albakio/20130522_002742.jpg[/IMG][/URL] It would be a bit neater with the BGP and BD the other way around, but I can't get the lid closed! :-(

Does anyone know? He gets some fantastic tones! Thinking "Ambulance" or "Set Guitars To Kill"...
